The Minority Faculty Development Award Program (MFDAP) was established in 2002 by the Multicultural Affairs Office, the Executive Committee on Research, and the MGH President’s Office. The MFDAP is designed for MGH appointed faculty with five years or less post-training experience and fellows to help them in their transition to junior faculty positions. These awards include both a grant and loan forgiveness component, and are separated into two categories depending on the academic career track of the applicant.

  • The Physician-Scientist Development Award (PSDA)– designed for URM fellows or faculty pursuing the physician-scientist track at Harvard Medical School. This award provides transitional grant funding which will aid the applicant (fellow or junior faculty) in becoming an independent investigator. See the 2008 PSDA Call for Applications. Deadline: 4 p.m., March 7, 2008
  • The Clinician-Teacher Development Award (CTDA)– developed in 2004 to meet the demands of the increasing number of residency and fellowship graduates pursuing the Clinician-Teacher track. See the 2008 CTDA Call for Applications. Deadline: 4 p.m., March 7, 2008
